⚡⛏️ BITCOIN MINING DIFFICULTY DROPS BY 11%: THE LARGEST NEGATIVE ADJUSTMENT SINCE 2021 ⛏️⚡ 2026 opens with a historic event for the Bitcoin network: mining difficulty has just dropped by 11%, marking the largest negative adjustment since China's famous crackdown on miners in 2021. Mining difficulty measures how complex it is to solve blocks and thus 'mine' new Bitcoins. When this decreases, it means that less computing power is active on the network — an indicator of reduced hashrate. In this case, the current drop could be linked to a mix of factors: the recent rise in energy costs, extreme weather conditions in the United States, and the reduction of profit margins after the 2024 halving. This decrease temporarily alleviates pressure on miners, facilitating block validation and improving the profitability of those who continue to operate. However, it is also a signal of tension in the sector: some less efficient facilities are likely shutting down machines in anticipation of more favorable conditions. The market is watching closely: such a marked drop in difficulty could signal a rebalancing phase and open new opportunities for more resilient and well-capitalized miners. #BREAKING #bitcoin #Mining #miners #hashrate $BTC

Mining Crisis 2026: Hashprice Falls to Historic Low ⛏️The Bitcoin mining sector is experiencing its toughest times in recent years. As of February 7, the mining profitability (hash price) has fallen to a record $0.03 per terahash. According to analysts, this is linked to the drop in the exchange rate $BTC below the production cost for most major players, which is currently estimated at $87,000 per coin. Miners are forced to shut down old equipment, which has already led to a decrease in the network's hash rate.

WHAT IS HASH RATE? Imagine you have a huge jar of puzzles. Every time you solve a puzzle, you get a candy 🍬. In the world of Bitcoin and crypto, these “puzzles” are really hard math problems. The “candy” you get for solving them is $BTC . Now, think about how fast you can solve puzzles: If you solve one puzzle every second, that’s slow. If you solve a thousand puzzles every second, that’s super fast! That speed of solving puzzles is called hashrate. ✅ So basically: Hashrate = how fast a computer can solve crypto puzzles The higher the hashrate: The better chance you have to get the “candy” (Bitcoin). #hashrate

The “candy” you get for solving them is $BTC .

Now, think about how fast you can solve puzzles:

If you solve one puzzle every second, that’s slow.

If you solve a thousand puzzles every second, that’s super fast!

That speed of solving puzzles is called hashrate.

✅ So basically:

Hashrate = how fast a computer can solve crypto puzzles

While everyone panics about Bitcoin trading at $88K, one of crypto's most reliable on-chain indicators just triggered—and historically, what happens NEXT could shock casual traders. What Just Happened🚨: Bitcoin's Hash Ribbon indicator flashed a capitulation signal after the network hashrate crashed 20% from its October peak (1.2 ZH/s → 950 EH/s). Mining difficulty is set to drop 17% on January 22nd—the LARGEST difficulty decline since China's mining ban in July 2021. But here's what most traders miss: This is EXACTLY when smart money positions for the next leg up. What Is the Hash Ribbon? Created by Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards, the Hash Ribbon tracks Bitcoin miner health using two simple metrics: • 30-day moving average of hashrate (short-term trend) • 60-day moving average of hashrate (long-term trend) The Signal: - When the 30-day MA crosses BELOW the 60-day MA = Miner Capitulation (dark red phase) - When the 30-day MA crosses BACK ABOVE the 60-day MA = Capitulation Ending (light red → white) Translation: Weak miners are shutting down (selling Bitcoin to survive), then strong miners emerge (buying opportunity forms).

Supply Shock Removal When miners capitulate and shut down, daily Bitcoin selling pressure from mining operations DISAPPEARS. The network still produces ~900 BTC/day, but it's concentrated among profitable miners who can HODL instead of immediately selling. 2. Difficulty Adjustment Creates Profitability As hashrate drops 20%, difficulty drops 17% to compensate. This means remaining miners can mine blocks with LESS energy and computing power, instantly improving margins and reducing sell pressure. 3.

Bitcoin's Hash Ribbon Just Flashed the SAME Signal That Called the $15K Bottom (2022) and $49K Bottom (2024). While everyone panics about Bitcoin trading at $88K, one of crypto's most reliable on-chain indicators just triggered—and historically, what happens NEXT could shock casual traders.
What Just Happened🚨:
Bitcoin's Hash Ribbon indicator flashed a capitulation signal after the network hashrate crashed 20% from its October peak (1.2 ZH/s → 950 EH/s). Mining difficulty is set to drop 17% on January 22nd—the LARGEST difficulty decline since China's mining ban in July 2021.
But here's what most traders miss: This is EXACTLY when smart money positions for the next leg up.
What Is the Hash Ribbon?
Created by Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards, the Hash Ribbon tracks Bitcoin miner health using two simple metrics:
• 30-day moving average of hashrate (short-term trend)
• 60-day moving average of hashrate (long-term trend)
The Signal:
- When the 30-day MA crosses BELOW the 60-day MA = Miner Capitulation (dark red phase)
- When the 30-day MA crosses BACK ABOVE the 60-day MA = Capitulation Ending (light red → white)
Translation: Weak miners are shutting down (selling Bitcoin to survive), then strong miners emerge (buying opportunity forms).
Why This Matters?:
Miners Are Bitcoin's "Forced Sellers"
Unlike retail traders, miners MUST sell Bitcoin to cover:
- Electricity costs ($40/petahash-second per day breakeven threshold)
- Hardware investments
- Operational expenses
When profitability collapses (it hit $35/petahash in November—a multi-year low), miners are forced to: Shut down unprofitable rigs (hashrate drops), Liquidate and Bitcoin reserves (sell pressure spikes)
Exit the market entirely (weak hands capitulate)
Once this selling exhausts itself, a MASSIVE supply overhang gets removed from the market.
Historical Performance🎯:
The Hash Ribbon has called EVERY major Bitcoin bottom since 2012:
November 2022 (FTX Collapse):
Signal triggered at $15,000
Bitcoin rallied to $22,000 within weeks
Eventually hit $100,000 by January 2025 (+567%)
August 2024 (Yen Carry Trade Unwind):
Signal triggered at $49,000
Bitcoin rallied to $100,000 by January 2025 (+104%)
June 2022 (Bear Market Bottom):
Signal triggered during $17K-$20K range
Preceded entire 2023-2024 bull run
May 2021 (China Mining Ban):
Signal triggered at $30,000
Bitcoin recovered to $69,000 by November (+130%)
Current Signal (January 2026):
Triggered after drop to $81,000 (November low)
Bitcoin already bouncing to $90,000+ range
Pattern suggests 30-100%+ upside over next 6-12 months
WHY Does This Work?🤷
Three fundamental reasons:
1. Supply Shock Removal
When miners capitulate and shut down, daily Bitcoin selling pressure from mining operations DISAPPEARS. The network still produces ~900 BTC/day, but it's concentrated among profitable miners who can HODL instead of immediately selling.
2. Difficulty Adjustment Creates Profitability
As hashrate drops 20%, difficulty drops 17% to compensate. This means remaining miners can mine blocks with LESS energy and computing power, instantly improving margins and reducing sell pressure.
3. Market Psychology Reset
Miner capitulation signals the "maximum pain" phase. Retail is panicking, leverage is flushed, and weak hands have exited. This creates the FOUNDATION for the next rally.
The Current Setup (January 2026)🚧:
Bearish Pressures Causing Capitulation:
April 2024 halving cut block rewards 50% (6.25 BTC → 3.125 BTC)
Hash price collapsed below $35 (worst levels since 2021)
Trump tariffs threaten mining hardware supply chains
October flash crash dropped BTC from $125K → $80K (-36%)
Macro uncertainty (Fed policy, government shutdown fears)
Miners pivoting to AI/HPC (Riot Platforms selling BTC to fund AI infrastructure)
Bullish Signals Emerging:
Hash Ribbon buy signal triggered (30-day MA crossing back above 60-day)
Difficulty dropping 17% = instant profitability boost
Bitcoin price recovering from $81K → $90K already
VanEck analysis: "Miner stress historically precedes renewed price momentum"
Inefficient miners exiting = network strengthening
What Smart Traders Are Doing RIGHT NOW:
• Strategy #1: The DCA Accumulator
Using miner capitulation as confirmation to dollar-cost-average into BTC at $85K-$92K range, targeting $120K-$150K by Q3-Q4 2026.
• Strategy #2: The Range Trader
Buying support at $85K-$88K, selling resistance at $94K-$100K, using Hash Ribbon as confirmation the downside risk is minimizing.
• Strategy #3: The Patient Holder
Viewing this as similar to the $49K August 2024 setup that led to $100K+ in 5 months. Holding through volatility with 6-12 month time horizon.
Critical Levels to Watch👀:
a. Support Zones:
$85,300 (previous low + ETF cost basis area)
$80,000 (November psychological low)
$75,000 (extreme bearish scenario)
b. Resistance Zones:
$94,500 (key breakout level)
$100,000 (psychological round number)
$108,000 (previous consolidation zone)
Hashrate Recovery Confirmation:
Watch for the 30-day MA to FIRMLY cross above the 60-day MA and stay there for 7+ days. This confirms the capitulation phase is truly over.
The Contrarian Truth:
Everyone wants to buy Bitcoin at $150K when CNBC is screaming "new all-time highs."
Nobody wants to buy when:
🍁Miners are capitulating
🍁Headlines scream "crypto winter"
🍁Hashrate is crashing
🍁Fear & Greed Index shows "Extreme Fear"
But that's EXACTLY when the Hash Ribbon signals opportunity.
Warren Buffett: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
Charles Edwards (Hash Ribbon creator): "When miners give up, it is possibly the most powerful Bitcoin buy signal ever."
🤔
Are you buying the signal that called the last 4 major bottoms?
Or are you waiting for confirmation when Bitcoin is already at $120K and miners are profitable again?

⚡️ The Great Hashrate Migration: Why Bitcoin is Becoming "Scarcest"? While traders argue over charts, tectonic shifts are happening in Bitcoin’s foundation. February 2026 has become a point of no return for many US-based miners due to new environmental fees. But instead of a disaster, we’re seeing a hashrate surge in other regions. What does this mean for BTC price? Migration to UAE and Ethiopia: Miners are actively moving to where energy is cheaper and regulations are friendlier.

⚡️ The Great Hashrate Migration: Why Bitcoin is Becoming "Scarcest"?
While traders argue over charts, tectonic shifts are happening in Bitcoin’s foundation. February 2026 has become a point of no return for many US-based miners due to new environmental fees. But instead of a disaster, we’re seeing a hashrate surge in other regions.
What does this mean for BTC price?
Migration to UAE and Ethiopia: Miners are actively moving to where energy is cheaper and regulations are friendlier.

Mining difficulty $BTC increases significantly – miners are squeezed on profits as hashprice drops to a low

Bitcoin mining difficulty increases by +6.31% to 155.97T – the third largest increase this year. Meanwhile, BTC price weakens + hashprice falls from $50.66 to $44.67, squeezing miners' profit margins.


In October, total industry revenue reached $1.595B (slightly higher than September), but transaction fees only accounted for ~0.75% → not enough to cover electricity & equipment costs.

→ Large mines continue to maintain & wait for BTC to recover (ETF / interest rates / macro).
→ Smaller mines find it harder to cope: shutting down old machines, switching to cheaper electricity, pooling together to reduce risk.

Not investment advice — I mine keyboard and can't cover electricity, how can I mine Bitcoin.

Bitcoin hashrate surpasses 1 Zetahash – A historical milestone but miners are facing the 'profitability problem' The Bitcoin network has just set a remarkable milestone: the hashrate has for the first time surpassed 1 Zetahash/second (ZH/s) – that is 1,000 times faster than the 1 Exahash/second level achieved back in 2016. This reflects the increasingly greater processing power and higher security of the Bitcoin blockchain, especially in the context of a volatile market due to global policies. To ensure a stable block creation time of around 10 minutes, the system has automatically adjusted the mining difficulty to a record level of 121.5 trillion, an increase of nearly 7% in the latest adjustment. However, this impressive milestone also comes with growing concerns from miners. Although #hashrate has surged, the mining revenue per Exahash (hashprice) has plummeted to the lowest historical level – only about 42.40 USD. This is a sign that input costs (electricity, equipment) are rising faster than profits, making the business model of many miners less effective than ever. In the context of Bitcoin still trading near the $80,000 range and long-term expectations remaining positive, the strong increase in hashrate may indicate long-term confidence in the network, but it also poses significant challenges regarding the financial sustainability for mining units. Key points to watch for upcoming: Will the market adjust hashprice (through increased transaction fees, price #Bitcoin continues to rise) or will there be a wave of 'withdrawal' from small miners due to cost pressures? #anhbacong {future}(BTCUSDT) {future}(XRPUSDT) {spot}(BNBUSDT)
